Super Easy Pickled Onions

Have you ever had pickled onions?  They are my new favorite thing!  I made them with tacos in mind but have found SO many more uses for them!  These Super Easy Pickled Onions are, of course fantastic on tacos, but they are equally delicious on sandwiches, grilled burgers, vegetarian wraps, paninis, salads, pulled pork sliders, omelets, nachos and more! Really, the sky is the

Creamy Pasta with Sausage

When I

Corner Bakery Chilled Swiss Oats

Have you ever been to a Corner Bakery Cafe?

So good, in fact,  that I did some research and

Have you ever made Refrigerator Dill Pickles?  If not, let me tell you that you are missing out! After many years of gardening failures here in Tennessee, I actually have a successful little backyard garden this year.  I think the key was building a garden box full of rich custom mixed dirt from my local nursery!  Now for the first time since I have moved here,  I have lots

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
